Ghajar ka Halwa

Carrot is another fantastic vegetable. This is one easily available vegetable which is a boon for people having eye problems. Carrot is a rich source of Vitamin A. The carrot gets its characteristic and bright orange colour from β-carotene, which is partly metabolised into vitamin A in humans. Carrot is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, red, white, and yellow varieties exist.

The red variety is known as Delhi carrots in India. In Northern India, Ghajar ka Halwa is made out of these red carrots. Ofcourse ghajar ka halwa can be made from any type of carrots. So when I saw these red carrots in market the other day, I remembered the mouth watering halwa that I have only had from restaurants. I haven't cooked this until now. So took the recipe from palakkadcooking. It was pretty easy to make and came out to be delicious.
